Giuliani changing his position on guns?
For a couple of weeks people were asking if Giuliani was switching positions on abortion (I don't really think that he was), but now I wonder whether the press will give him the same trouble on guns, where I actually believe that there is more of a change occurring. If I were convinced that Giuliani was really changing his views, I think that it would be an important advance for safety., But given the various links to videos that I have posted and other statements of his, I have a hard time that he really believes this. Would he put hundreds of dollar fees on free assembly or before someone could speak on an issue (that was the licensing fee in NYC for guns)? Would he require that newspapers register themselves?
Given the way Giuliani views those other Constitutional freedoms, this statement probably doesn't mean anything anyway. This is a guy who views the Bill of Rights the way Gollum views Samwise Gamgee.
Election after election we see pandering by those running for office.
It's become a joke. A very unfunny one.
Giuliani has a record of supporting oppressive and unconsititional laws. If he isn't willing to live with his reputation then why did he go to the trouble of earning it?
Was he lying when he supported oppressive laws or is he lying now?
Amazed how lucky I am that I have had jobs where I could just think about whatever I wanted to think about.
This summer I will be moving to the University of Maryland. Previously I held positions at the University of Chicago, Yale University, Stanford, UCLA, Wharton, and Rice and was the chief economist at the United States Sentencing Commission during 1988 and 1989. I have published over 90 articles in academic journals. I received my Ph.D. in economics from UCLA in 1984.
